Government programme for pro-

Clergymen are protesting against
the abbreviated "Xmas," which re-
duces the name of Christ to "X "
The abbreviation is disrespectful
tu the most beautiful word in his-
tory. and it is disrespeetfu1 to the
English language. Anybody who
was in too much of a hurry to
write out "Christmua” should not
use the word.
Wise men in Milwaukee will de-
vote three days to dincurving high
question-, including this, "Can
Christianity be of any ponXic&l use
In changing existing conditions?"
Christianity has been changing
existing conditions for about nine-
teen hundred years, then* i* no
reason why it should break down
now. To "love thy neighbor as
thyself," trying to help him. In-
aland of trying to rob him, will al-
ways improve condition* if men
mean it.
Another suggestion before Con-
gress Is to .forbid experiment with
scientific study of poison gases,
fhf Midi of absurdity is to sug-
gTOt that we must n«t KNOW

trust ourselves. Is it not idiocy
to sav that our seiontiata shall not
